"The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but brotherhood."
"The American people are tired of empty promises and political double talk."
"The world is a dangerous place, and we must be prepared to defend ourselves."
"The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you."
"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."
About Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969)
Five-star Allied Supreme Commander in WWII Europe and 34th US President (1953-1961), whose January 1961 farewell address coined 'military-industrial complex.' Closely associated with George C. Marshall (his Army mentor and the Marshall Plan author) and Douglas MacArthur (Pacific Theater rival). For an intellectual contrast, see Joseph McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican senator (1947-1957) — Eisenhower privately despised McCarthy's Communist witch-hunt tactics but publicly tolerated him until McCarthy attacked the US Army in 1954; Ike's quiet engineering of the Army-McCarthy hearings undid McCarthy and ended the worst phase of McCarthyism. The establishment-Republican vs anti-establishment-Republican fault line that still defines the GOP.
